COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019)

Stellenbosch University (SU) is closely monitoring developments surrounding the coronavirus disease outbreak (COVID-19, caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2) that was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organisation.

Our COVID-19 Contingency Committee, established in February, has been expanded to an overarching Institutional Committee for Business Continuity (ICBC). It is served by a Medical Advisory Committee, and seven workstreams, covering student services; staff; learning and teaching; communications, community impact and external relations; campus operations; finance and legal matters; as well as research.

We are doing everything we possibly can to ensure that our students can complete their academic year, and that the University remains sustainable. Please stay informed of the latest developments communicated via our official channels.
